Ooooo...To Be 13 AGAIN!

This is Bre and Kristen-the birthday girl.

Hubby, Baby Girl and I attended at 13th birthday party for my niece Kristen. She had 8-10 of her friends over for an evening of music, games and water fun...well the water fun was NOT exactly planned but due the the downpours and the fact that it was an outdoor party...they just sorta happened. Kristen's mom, Julie and her dad Tim did a wonderful job of making the party a special event in their daughter's life. They set up a tent and decorated it with rope lights and paper lanterns, Julie out did herself with the food and the music was great. Julie did stressed out a 'bit' well actually a whole lot, over the preperations but I hope that she now thinks that it was worth it. The kids all seemed to have a good time playing in the rain and jumping in mud puddles and just visiting. It is so funny how kids one minute want to be all grown up and then the next they want to play in the rain....oh to be young again...oh wait..I DO like to play in the rain. Well anyway....I'm not going to say too much more about the party, I'll let Julie do that but I wanted to say that we all enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Thanks Kristen...for turning 13! Can't wait to see what's planned for 16!
